Namespaces:

• Catalyst

Classes:

• BigInteger - Models an arbitrarily-large (positive or negative) integer value.
• Optional - A container object which may or may not contain a non-null value.

Error domains:

• BigIntegerParseError
• EnumParseError

Constants:

• public const int MAJOR_VERSION
• public const int MICRO_VERSION
• public const int MINOR_VERSION
• public const string VERSION_STRING

Delegates:

• public delegate T SupplyFunc<T> ()
  Supplies a value.
• ByteUtils - The ByteUtils namespace contains useful functions for operating on byte values.

Methods:

• public char clear_bit (char byte_value, size_t position)
  Clears the bit value at the given position within the byte. This has the effect of setting the bit value to 0.
• public bool get_bit (char byte_value, size_t position)
  Gets the bit value at the given position within the byte.
• public char set_bit (char byte_value, size_t position)
  Sets the bit value at the given position within the byte. This has the effect of setting the bit value to 1.
• DigestUtils - The DigestUtils namespace contains useful functions for computing checksums.

Methods:

• public string compute_for_file (ChecksumType checksum_type, File file) throws Error
  Computes the checksum for a file.
• EnumUtils - The EnumUtils namespace contains useful functions for operating on enums.

Methods:

• public T get_value_by_name<T> (string name) throws EnumParseError
  Retrieves the enum value for the given string name. The string name is the value obtained when calling to_string () on an enum value.
• public T get_value_by_nick<T> (string nick) throws EnumParseError
  Retrieves the enum value for the given string nick.
• public T[] get_values<T> ()
  Retrieves all the values in the enum as an array.
• FileUtils - The FileUtils namespace contains useful functions for handling files.

Methods:

• public void copy_recursive (File src, File dest, FileCopyFlags flags = NONE, Cancellable? cancellable = null) throws Error
  Performs a recursive copy from src to dest.
• public void delete_recursive (File file, Cancellable? cancellable = null) throws Error
  Performs a recursive delete of the given directory. If the given file is not a directory, but is a regular file, it will behave the same as GLib.File.delete.
• public bool extract_archive (File archive_file, File target)
  Extracts an archive file.
• public string? get_extension (File file, bool normalize = true)
  Determines the extension for the given file.
• public Collection<File>? list_files (File directory, bool include_subdirs = true, Cancellable? cancellable = null) throws Error
  Lists all the files contained within the given parent directory.
• Http - The Http namespace provides classes and consants for HTTP use-cases.

Classes:

• DownloadContext - Models the context of the download, including the URL, and target output file. Provides the ability to monitor the progress of the download via signals.

Enums:

• PortRange

Constants:

• public const uint MAX_PORT
  The maximum valid port number (65535)
• public const uint MIN_PORT
  The minimum valid port number (0)
• HttpUtils - The HttpUtils namespace contains useful functions for executing HTTP requests.

Methods:

• public async void download_file_async (DownloadContext context, Cancellable? cancellable = null)
  Downloads the file at the given URL asynchronously.
• public void download_file_sync (DownloadContext context, Cancellable? cancellable = null)
  Downloads the file at the given URL.
• public string get_as_string (string url, Cancellable? cancellable = null) throws Error
  Retrieves the content at the given URL as a string.
• public bool is_client_error (uint status_code)
  Returns whether or not the given HTTP status code indicates an error on on the client side (i.e. 4xx).
• public bool is_error (uint status_code)
  Returns whether or not the given HTTP status code indicates an error on either the client or the server side.
• public bool is_server_error (uint status_code)
  Returns whether or not the given HTTP status code indicates an error on on the server side (i.e. 5xx).
• public uint random_port (uint lower_bound = MIN_PORT, uint upper_bound = MAX_PORT)
  Returns a valid, random port number equally distrubted over the range provided by the lower and upper bounds.
• public uint random_port_for_range (PortRange port_range)
  Returns a valid, random port number equally distrubted over the range.
• public bool validate_port (uint port_number)
  Returns whether or not the given port number is valid.
